Fantastic continuation to the first book, expands on the universe and adds to the story without missing a beat or dropping in quality. Definitely recommend and will be picking up the next one.

This book does an excellent job of setting me up to think something is going to happen and then pivoting and going completely elsewhere in these constant little subversions. I keep going "I recognize this trope, I know where we're going" and just nope, not there. I love it. 

This book pulled off making me actively reconsider my opinion of a character I considered irredeemably annoying (Hiro). They're still kind of annoying, but I will recognize good writing and character work.
